Fun Flying list?

By taulover55, in X-Wing Squad Lists

After my recent love of Bombing K wings (with Sabine Crew) i've cobbled together a list i think may be fun to fly at a store Tourney this Friday even if it isn't massively competitive.

Jake Farrell

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Veteran Instincts (1)

Autothrusters (2)

Swarm Tactics (2)

Miranda Doni

Twin Laser Turret (6)

Extra Munitions (2)

Sabine Wren (2)

Conner Net (4)

Cluster Mines (4)

Advanced SLAM (2)

Ion Bombs (2)

Gemmer Sojan

A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Chardaan Refit (-2)

Autothrusters (2)

Adaptability

My theory is to fly Jake and Gemmer together to "Escort" the munitions loaded K wing and keep them both at PS9 in combat (VI+Swarm i believe interacts this way) then when Miranda unloads to use her to TLT stuff from range. i know A wings are squishy but i vvoe flying them. Alternatively i could chuck an E wing in there to give me a bit of extra punch again its a ship i enjoy flying.

Probably don't need 6 bombs and TLT on Miranda, but it otherwise looks really fun :)

Miranda gets around a bit with advanced Slam, plus i like just shutting off paths through roids with Cluster mines (they are very much in favor after forcing a VI Poe through them after dropping them on his head and wiping him out!

its a shame theirs no fast Biggs-esque type pilot, would make it wonderfully fun and infuriating!

I also don't like going crazy on miranda. SLAM interferes with her ability and TLT and makes her an incredibly awkward piece to move. SLAM is something I save to avoid horrible turns or to get back into the fight quicker; it's not something you want to crutch on with her specifically

there's also the non-synergy between conners @ high PS not removing the action step from ships that have already activated (ie sub PS 8)

I never play miranda without bombs, even during Wave 7 with c3po I gave her freaking bombs, but those were all "drop on dial reveal" which work far more effectively off of her high PS and attack dependency.

ACTION bombs w/A-SLAM is strictly Warden Squadron territory

I like "laying" bombs on high ps vets and can generally get it on them nicely pre move (Poe found that out the hard way!)

I may drop the Connors though and put seismics or thermals and a different ept on gemmer
